Xu Jiangcheng also regretted it. He had the idea of ??buying it just now, but in the end he still didn't make up his mind. However, as a businessman, it is his duty to maximize profits at all times, so he regretted not long before he said: "Sir, I will pay 500,000 yuan for this piece of wool. How about transferring it to me?" Now This half of wool, if it were just the green belt, would be worth at most eight or nine hundred thousand, as Chu Chen had estimated before. But as I said before, this piece of wool still has python patterns, so it still has a certain degree of betability. Of course, just based on the performance of this green belt, it cannot be said that the jadeite worth hundreds of thousands of dollars will definitely be cut out. If the luck is really bad, there is also the possibility of ruining the bet. Chu Chen had heard a story before. There was an old stone gambler who took a fancy to a piece of Lao Ganpa wool. It was also a high-green glass type, and the wool was green everywhere. According to common sense, the hope of betting on gains was very high, so I spent several million to buy that piece of wool. However, after cutting it open, I found that it was full of white cotton, and the color was basically eaten away. Therefore, before any piece of wool is completely solved, no one can be 100% sure that this piece of wool will definitely win or lose. (Except Chu Chen, who has special powers, of course) At the same time, as soon as he heard the word "up", a middle-aged man with a beer belly immediately got in from the outside and jumped to the edge of the woolen material. , looked up. I don't know how he got in so flexibly with his figure. That¡¯s not all. After hearing the news about the rise, there were still people behind Chu Chen who wanted to push forward and push each other. These people all wanted to seize a good position for viewing. Fortunately, both girls were standing in front of Chu Chen, otherwise they would have been taken advantage of in this chaos. This situation reminded Chu Chen of an old saying in the stone gambling industry: lunatics buy, lunatics sell, and lunatics are waiting. The middle-aged man did not directly reply to Xu Jiangcheng¡¯s quotation, but said he would think about it, and then stood aside with a smile, letting everyone look at the rough stone first, and probably wanted to wait for the price to sell it. Of course, there must be a sense of pride in what the middle-aged man did, right? From the collapse of stone-wiping to the rise of stone-cutting, in just a short period of time, he has experienced the ups and downs of life. If it were any other A person will not only be proud, but also afraid. "I'll pay 520,000 yuan for this piece of wool. What do you think, sir?" The middle-aged man with a beer belly also became excited after seeing the performance of the wool. But the middle-aged man still stood there with a smile, not at all tempted by the price. Thinking about it, he had finally come to like this piece of wool, and he took a big risk to cut it out of green strips, and it was still spinach green. Although this green belt may only cost 8 or 9 million at most, don't forget that there is a python pattern on the edge of this half piece of material. He believes that based on his many years of research, this half piece of wool can be very valuable. Maybe it's a big rise. ¡°And even if it doesn¡¯t rise significantly, the middle-aged man believes that he can¡¯t lose money based on the current performance of wool, so in terms of maximizing profits, the risk is worth taking. "Five hundred and fifty thousand!" After all, this piece of ice material is already considered a mid-to-high-end jade, and in the jade market, the higher the grade of jade, the greater the increase in value, so Xu Jiangcheng will definitely not give up on this piece of wool easily. . In fact, as far as ice species are concerned, there are good and bad, new and old, so some people simply subdivide ice species into ice species and quasi-ice species. The ice water is head-to-foot (1.50), very transparent and has excellent texture. The quasi-ice species has a good water head (one point), is translucent, and has a good texture. The ice type of the current piece of wool is not as good as Chu Chen's last piece of jadeite. If it were the ice type texture of Chu Chen's last time, the estimated value of this piece of wool would be at least 20 to 30% higher. . But obviously, the fat boss didn¡¯t want to give up this piece of wool easily, so the two of them quoted higher prices one after another, and the price of this piece of wool also went up. However, both of them are also cunning and cunning, and they both abide by their duties as businessmen and will never let the middle-aged man, a fisherman, benefit from something like this. Of course, they can¡¯t be the only two people making quotations on the spot. In addition to the two, there are some jade merchants who are also eager to give it a try. "Seven hundred and fifty thousand!" When Xu Jiangcheng quoted this price, the fat boss thought about it and withdrew from the competition, and several other bosses also lost. It¡¯s just that the middle-aged man was still unwilling to give up. Although the price of 750,000 yuan made him very excited, he finally decided to make another cut. "Xiao Chen, what do you think of this half piece of material?" Li Guodong asked softly after looking at the half piece of wool. Chu Chen saw that he hadThe frowning look showed that he also saw something wrong, so he said softly: "Brother Li, you must have noticed that this Kasan Python has been somewhat plastered, right?" Li Guodong nodded lightly, Said: "This piece of material is not easy to gamble on, the risk is too great." "Why is the risk so high?" Wen Yuting asked softly. Li Guodong explained: "Yu Ting, you should have seen the python pattern on the wool just now. This kind of pitted and concave python pattern, like a honeycomb, is the kasan python. Generally, this kind of python is colored and has Most of the Kasan python stones have thin skin and thick skin, and have a high green content, which makes them easier to gamble with. " "But what we need to pay attention to is that if the python pattern has formed a plaster-like layer of skin, it will be like a layer of plaster. Then the content of jade inside will not be high, and it may even be colorless. Both Xiao Chen and I feel that the plaster on this piece of wool is already a little bit, so we think the risk is still very high.¡± "Ah, so that's it. But I haven't seen colorless jade before. Is it the kind of jade that looks like glass? Isn't it pretty? Why isn't the value high?" Wen Yuting felt a little strange. asked. Li Guodong smiled and said: "As you said, most people think that what is the meaning of colorless glass? For those who don't know, they thought it was a piece of glass. So in the past, colorless glass was usually thrown away. , even the glass ones are not worth much. Although the price has gone up a bit in the past two years, colorless jade is still not very valuable." Wen Yuting suddenly realized that this was the case, but she immediately asked again. Li Guodong asked a question: "Guodong, can't the owner of the wool see that the plaster has melted? Why does he continue to gamble?" Li Guodong thought for a while and said: "Betting on stones is a business. There are many people who are lucky, and Xiaochen and I both felt a bit similar, but it wasn't that obvious. Maybe he just ignored it. It might be clear to the outside world. Of course, the final result will only be known after cutting it off. Maybe Xiaochen and I guessed wrong in the end. Maybe." When Li Guodong explained to Wen Yuting, Chu Chen was very excited. Of course, he was not excited about the half of the wool that was being cut, but the other half that was full of white cotton. ??White cotton refers to the translucent and slightly transparent white spots, strips, wadding, and ripples inside the jadeite. Its ingredients are mostly albite, nepheline and analcime mixed with jadeite. This is an impurity in jade. The more obvious it is, the more it will affect the quality of jade. "White cotton" is sometimes mixed with jade's gas-liquid inclusions. According to research, the "white cotton" between emerald green and green may be caused by the uneven distribution of the green color of the emerald itself. Once the white cotton is extracted, most of the piece of wool will be broken down, not to mention that the whole side is covered with snow-white. In this case, it is basically not expected that jadeite will be extracted from this half. . But it was precisely this material that everyone was not optimistic about that Chu Chen's Baojue actually reacted. You must know that his current Baojue requires a thousand-yuan jade to react. In this case, it suddenly It took him by surprise. So when he checked the half piece of wool just now, Chu Chen pretended to be curious and checked the half piece of wool full of white cotton, and he used his powers without hesitation, and the result made him suddenly feel happy. Excited and excited. "I must get this piece of wool!" Chu Chen made up his mind, but if he wanted to buy it, he didn't want to rush it. He would wait for the right time, and if he bought it in a hurry, it might arouse the curiosity of others. If not, the gains outweigh the losses. Besides, based on the performance of this kind of wool, I don¡¯t think anyone would argue with him. ¡°Bah, bah, bah!¡± This time, the middle-aged man chose to cut next to the python. If this cut can produce green leaves, as long as the planting water is good, , then there is no doubt that this half of the material has risen sharply. On the contrary, if the result is not good, he can only hope for the green belt. The stone dissolving machine was running smoothly, but the moods of the many bosses who were waiting were not so calm. On the contrary, they were very complicated. On the one hand, they hope that the results will be better, so that they can potentially harvest some mid-to-high-end jadeite. But on the one hand, I also hope that the result will not be too good. It will not be so easy to get the jade at a cheap price. Moreover, there are some weak bosses who hope that this piece of wool will collapse and no one can buy it. Like the previous time, when the stone-breaking machine stopped, the middle-aged man first went to uncover the cut stone piece. Everyone who was watching stretched their necks, wanting to know the results as soon as possible. When the mysterious veil of wool was revealed, some sharp-eyed viewers suddenly took a breath of cold air. "Colorless jadeite?!" "No way, a colorless jadeite was actually cut out of a good piece of material!" Seeing this result, Wen Yuting slapped Li Guodong on the arm and whispered excitedly: "Guodong, you really guessed it right." Li Guodong giggled at her slap.
